DRESSTucsonans take a relaxed approach to dress and casual clothing is acceptable for most occasions. Summer wear includes wide-brim hats, sunglasses and lightweight fabrics. In the warmer months, indoor air conditioning can get chilly for some so be prepared with a lightweight jacket or sweater. Sunscreen to protect the skin is recommended year-round. In the winter, a lightweight coat or jacket will usually suffice unless you’re planning to visit higher mountain areas where colder temps and snow are possible.

DESERT LIFEThe Sonoran Desert is a fragile ecosystem teeming with a variety of plant and animal species that depend on each other for survival; and law protects many of them. Please leave the desert as you find it. Purchase cactus and other native plants at Tucson’s established desert gardens or cactus nurseries.

TIME ZONEThe State of Arizona is located in the Mountain Standard Time Zone (MST). Arizona is one of only two U.S. states that does not make an adjustment for Daylight Savings Time and during the months April through October, Arizona time mirrors Pacific Daylight time.

HOMESTEAD

EXEMPTIONAs of July 17, 1994, the Homestead Exemption is automatic in Arizona; you do not need to file for it. Only one exemption may be claimed per individual claimant or married couple. The homestead exemption allows any resident of Arizona, 18 years of age or older, to exempt from attachment, execution or forced sale $150,000 of equity in a single dwelling unit. In other words, if someone wins a suit or judgment against you, $150,000 of equity in your home can’t be touched. Exceptions include (1) process and sale of a consensual lien, i.e. where a deed of trust or equity loan is foreclosed; (2) a forced sale resulting from a mechanic’s lien, and (3) any equity beyond the $150,000.

Congratulations on your decision to buy a home! It’s a challenging project

and there are many ways a professional can help.

Here are some of the many ways you may benefit

from working with a Realtor®:

I T W O N ’ T C O S T Y O U A P E N N Y !

The Realtor® who helps you buy a home is traditionally paid by the Seller.

M A N Y M O R E H O M E C H O I C E S

Your Realtor® has thousands of homes to choose from through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), so you’re more likely to find the home that’s just right for you and find it quicker. In fact, a majority of the homes for sale are listed by Realtors® and aren’t available to you unless you are working with a Realtor.®

A N U M B E R O F T R A N S A C T I O N S “ F A L L O U T”

Unfortunately, it’s true. Some transactions fall apart before closing.

An experienced Realtor® may be able to resolve problems and see your

transaction through to a successful closing.

K N O W L E D G E O F N E W H O M E S U B D I V I S I O N S

New home subdivisions will welcome you and your Realtor.® If you’re interested in buying a new home, take your agent with you on your first visit to each subdivision. Your professional Realtor® is an important source of information who can supply background on the builder, nearby subdivisions, and the local community.

I T ’ S A M A J O R I N V E S T M E N T

You use a professional for your legal, financial and health needs. Why gamble on what may be your biggest investment without a professional at your side?

H E L P W I T H F S B O ’ S

If you consider a “For Sale By Owner,” take your Realtor® along to help

negotiate the contract. The owner may not only agree to your terms, but also agree to pay the agent’s commission.

L E S S L I A B I L I T Y

You will have more protection from legal and financial liability, especially

as real estate transactions become more complicated.

T H E P A P E R W O R K

Your experienced Realtor® will negotiate and prepare the purchase

contract for you and assist you throughout the escrow process.

WHAT HAPPENS AT ? During the escrow period, our title department begins researching and examining all historical records pertaining to the subject property. Barring any unusual circumstances, a commitment for title insurance is issued, indicating a clear title or listing any items which must be cleared prior to closing. The commitment is sent to for review.

escrow officer follows instructions on contract, coordinates deadlines and gathers all necessary paperwork. For example, written requests for payoff information (called “demands”) are sent to the Seller’s mortgage company and any other lien holders.

HOW TO HOLD TITLE. The Buyer should inform the escrow officer and lender as soon as possible of how they wish to hold title of their home and exactly how their name(s) will appear on all documents. This allows the lender and title company to prepare all documents correctly. (Changes later, such as adding or deleting an initial in your name can delay your closing.) Buyers may wish to consult an attorney, accountant or other professional before deciding how to hold title.

HOW IS AN ESCROW OPENED? Once the completed contract (or Purchase Agreement) is fully signed and executed and the Seller has accepted the offer, the Buyer's Agent will open the escrow. The earnest money deposit and the contract are placed in escrow. As a neutral party to the transaction, Title Security can respond only to those written instructions agreed to mutuallyby all “interested” parties (Seller and Buyer); Title Security cannot otherwise alter the contract or create instructions and that protects all interested parties.

THE ESCROW PROCESS AT T

AS PART OF OUR SERVICE, T WILL:

OPEN escrow and deposit Buyer s “good faith” funds in a separate escrow account.

CONDUCT a title search to determine ownershipand status of the subject property.

ISSUE a title commitment and begin the process to delete or record items

to provide clear title to the property.

Per contract, CONFIRM that the lender has determined the Buyer, is qualified for a new loan.

ASK you to complete a beneficiary’s statement if you are assuming the Seller’s loan.

MEET all deadlines as specified in the contract.

REQUEST payoff information for the Seller’s loan s ,other liens, homeowners association fees, etc.

PRORATE fees, such as property taxes, per thecontract, and prepare the settlement statement.

SET separate appointments: Seller will sign documents; will sign

documents and deposit funds.

REVIEW documents ensuring all conditions and requirements are fulfilled;

request funds from lender.

When all funds are deposited, RECORD documents at the County Recorder to

transfer the subject property from the Seller to the Buyer.

After recordation is confirmed, CLOSE escrow and disburse funds, including Seller’s proceeds,

loan payoffs, Realtors®’ commissions, related fees for recording, etc.

PREPARE and send final documents to parties involved.

WHAT IS AN ESCROW? An escrow is a process wherein the Buyer and Seller deposit written instructions, documents, and funds with a neutral third party until certain conditions are fulfilled. In a real estate transaction, the Buyer does not pay the Seller directly for the property. The Buyer gives the funds to an escrow company who, acting as an intermediary, verifies that title to the property is clear and all written instructions in the contract have been met. Then the company transfers the ownership of the property to the Buyer through recordation and pays the Seller. This process protects

all parties involved.

The State of Arizona licenses and regulates all escrow companies. The Insurance Commissioner and the State Banking Department can inspect a company’s records at any time, providing further oversight of the company’s management and position as an impartial third party to the transaction.

In Arizona, escrow services are generally provided by a title insurance company instead of an attorney. The stability, reliability and performance of your title and escrow company are vital to protect the interests of all parties to the transaction.

WAYS TO TAKE TITLE IN ARIZONA

YOUR MOVEP L A N N I N G

ABOUT 2 MONTHS BEFORE YOU MOVEResearch your new city through the Chamber of Commerce or, if a computer is available to you, through many of the online websites.

Start cleaning closets and storage areas and decide what goes with you, what goes to a charitable organization or garage sale, and what goes in the trash.

Talk with your accountant or an IRS advisor about any moving expenses that might be tax deductible and require records.

Contact moving companies (and the Better Business Bureau) for services and estimates.

Start a list of everyone you want to notify about your move. Keep it handy because names will pop into your mind unexpectedly. Along with friends and relatives, include schools, doctors, dentists, creditors, attorney, accountant, broker, and any recurring services such as maid, lawn, exterminator, water softener, diaper, internet provider, magazine subscriptions, etc.

1 MONTH OUT Notify the post office of the move, and pick up a supply of change

of address cards.

If possible, open bank accounts at the new location now so your checks can be printed, and you won’t have to rely on temporary checks which are not accepted everywhere.

Get serious about cleaning out the house; start accumulating boxes and begin packing. Hold a garage sale.

Contact your insurance companies (health, auto, homeowners, renters) and discuss coverage at the new location.

Contact utility companies and arrange to disconnect/ connect at your current home and at your new home.

Driving? Flying? How will you, your family, your pets, your plants, extra cars, get to the new city? Arrange for that now.

Take pets to your veterinarian for check up and regular immunizations before the trip.

2 WEEKS BEFORE Contact your bank about closing your existing accounts

when you move.

If you’re driving your car, have it serviced.

Find out what you need to do to transfer records for doctors, dentists, veterinarians, etc. Be sure to get permanent records from schools, not copies. Get prescriptions for new pharmacies.

1 WEEK LEFT Get rid of all flammable products, paint, gasoline, etc.

Contact your local trash collector about proper disposal.

Gather odds and ends: dry cleaning, safe deposit box items, prescriptions, anything you’ve loaned.

Return library books, rented videos, anything borrowed.

Drain gas and oil from equipment you’re shipping, such as lawn mowers, gas weed trimmers, etc.

A COUPLE OF DAYS Give away plants you’re not taking.

Defrost the refrigerator and freezer.

Write out clear instructions—sketch a map, too, if you can—of your new home, and include your itinerary and emergency numbers. Keep a copy yourself, and give copies to the moving company and your family or friends.

Complete packing. Be sure to set aside the items you want to take with you so the mover doesn’t accidentally load them onto the truck.

Pack local phone books. You’ll be glad you did.

Check with the utility companies to verify connect and disconnect dates after escrow closes.

Contact your Realtor® and verify when and where keys to your new home will be available.

Pick up beverages and snacks for moving day.

Disconnect major appliances.

THE BIG DAY If you can’t be there when the movers arrive, arrange for someone

to meet them.

Check the movers’ bill of lading and inventory carefully before signing. Keep papers with you in a safe place.

Make one last trip through the house, double-checking closets, drawers and cabinets. Lock the windows.

Leave the garage remote control for the new owners.

Turn off all the lights, close and lock the door, and leave the keys as prearranged with your Realtor® or new owner.

GOOD LUCK, AND ENJOY YOUR NEW HOME!
